Slag: vitreous residue left after smelting metallic ore
So, there I was reading a random blog post about Android and the JavaWorld author says something about some awesome, brilliant, insightful Sun Java ME blogger who tends to "slag" on Android. Slag? What's slag? I had to look that up. And, oh, he was a referring to me and had a link to one of my blog posts last year about Android. (Yeah, stop snickering out there) But, of course! :-) See: Java ME Blogger Slags on Android Here's a quote: In addition, because Harmony is a tweaked Java SE implementation, code written for Android doesn't match up with the Java ME standard that Sun would like to see be the default for mobile device development. It's no wonder Sun's official Java ME bloggers tend to slag on it.It took me some time to find this photo of a heart-shaped slag. It's a good metaphor: slag but behind it there is <3 for Java. :-) |
Michael Jackson video game: Just beat it, just beat it

Rest-in-peace, Michael Jackson. Here's a video game in your honor. If someone has a pointer to a MAME emulator for a Java ME tech-enabled phone, let me know. This would be a good mobile tribute to the King of Pop.

For the few, the proud, the Orkut users, here's Java ME tech
While the rest of the world uses Facebook for social networking, for the 3 people in Brazil who happen to use Google's Orkut instead, there's a new Java ME tech-enabled app for their cell phones. See: Have at it Orkut users: Orkut Mobile Here's a quote: Last year, Google released a mobile site for Orkut, and now they have released an Orkut Mobile App, which is available for most Java- enabled devices.Hey, don't knock it. Google knows which mobile platform is the most important whether in the U.S., Europe, Asia, Brazil, or anywhere else in the world. You have to port your app to Java ME technology, or risk losing market share. |
Brains! BRAINS! Java ME tech wants your BRAINS!!!

Place yer bets on Gambling from a Java ME cell phone
Here's an article on the top 10 Java ME tech-enabled cell phones to use for mobile gambling. All of the top 10 are Java ME tech-enabled phones. See: Java ME for cell phone gambling Here's a quote: Players wishing to jump on the digital and handheld bandwagon for mobile gaming need to make sure that their mobile device (cell phone, Blackberry, PDA or smart-phone) must be Internet/ Java ready and enabled on their device. From there it's a matter of checking to see if the casino you want to play supports your phone model.Just remember: Whatever happens on your Java ME cell phone, stays on your Java ME cell phone. |
New Java ME game: Mermaids Millions... with ZOMBIES!!!
How do you ensure that your Java ME game will sell really well? Just combine two popular terms together, like "Mermaids" (scantily clad female fish-like people) and "Millions" (as in millions of dollars you can win on a slot machine). Heck, why not add a third term (my idea), "Mermaids Millions... with ZOMBIES!!!" :-) Eh, not as good, huh? See: Mermaids Millions... with ZOMBIES!!! Here's a quote: Mermaids Millions is the first game from Spin3 to be made available on a JAVA platform and as a web-based application at the time of launch. This move illustrates Spin3's commitment to providing the most advanced games to the industry's newest devices, as well as the traditional handset market.Cool. Commitment to providing the most advanced games to the industry's newest devices... with ZOMBIES!!! :-) |

No more sending as MMS attachments to yourself. No more file transfers with Bluetooth or USB cables. Here's a Java ME app that lets you send your cell phone photos directly to the Web.

For J2ME enabled (Java) phones, there is Glogger Lite 2.2...All I could think of during writing this blog post is that Bill S. just sent out a message saying that there are cupcakes on the 3rd floor... Cupcakes!!! |
